David Hull

____
Philosopher & historian of biology David Hull passed on this last week.

His work in biology was deeply influential throughout graduate school. Besides his numerous papers, I once spent whole summer simply studying his one book Science as a Process.

This morning preparing for my fall classes I find myself relying on copies of books he kindly let me take from his collection when I visited him last year. Philosopher, steadfast gay rights advocate, and even a decent portrait painter to boot....
